Commercial Wood Framing
Our commercial wood framing solutions combine traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. Using pre-fabricated wall panels and trusses, we deliver multi-family housing, hotels, and senior living facilities with 30% faster timelines. Our MiTEK 3D modeling ensures precise fit while reducing on-site labor requirements. This approach maintains structural integrity while lowering carbon footprint through optimized material usage.
Mass Timber Solutions
We specialize in cross-laminated timber systems for commercial buildings. Our mass timber solutions offer superior sustainability through carbon sequestration while meeting strict fire safety standards. The prefabricated components enable rapid assembly, reducing construction schedules and site disruption. This method achieves energy efficiency through precise thermal envelope construction while maintaining aesthetic wood finishes.
Timber Towers
Our QB TimberTowers provide code-compliant elevator and stair shafts using cross-laminated timber. These pre-engineered systems install faster than concrete alternatives while maintaining two-hour fire resistance. The modular design reduces labor needs and construction timelines by weeks, with integrated safety features providing immediate egress during building phases. This solution combines structural strength with sustainable material benefits.
Design Engineering
Our digital construction process utilizes 3D modeling and BIM coordination for optimal project planning. We identify design conflicts before manufacturing begins, reducing costly field changes. The integration with architectural and structural drawings ensures accurate material quantities and installation sequences. This technology-driven approach enhances collaboration across trades while maintaining budget controls throughout the project lifecycle.
Material Procurement
We manage global material sourcing through an established supplier network. Our procurement specialists secure competitive pricing with bulk purchasing while maintaining quality standards. The early-stage material price locks protect against market volatility, ensuring budget certainty. This comprehensive supply chain management includes logistics coordination and just-in-time delivery to optimize construction schedules.
Questions
What is commercial wood framing and its benefits?
Commercial wood framing uses timber for structures like apartments and hotels. Benefits include cost efficiency, sustainability, and 30% faster construction timelines through pre-fabrication.
How does pre-fab construction save time?
Pre-fabricated components are manufactured off-site in controlled environments, reducing on-site construction time by up to 30% and minimizing weather-related delays.
What sustainability benefits does mass timber offer?
Mass timber sequesters carbon, reduces construction waste by 21 million tons annually, and lowers transportation emissions through efficient manufacturing processes.
How does early framing partner selection help projects?
Early engagement allows for material price locks, optimized BIM coordination, and securing critical components like trusses before market fluctuations occur.
What fire resistance do timber structures provide?
Mass timber components achieve two-hour fire resistance ratings through controlled charring, meeting IBC 2018 code requirements for commercial construction.
Can mass timber be used for high-rise buildings?
Yes, modern engineering and 2021 IBC code updates permit mass timber construction for buildings up to 18 stories while maintaining structural and fire safety standards.

Report
When we purchased the shed the paper said $4100.00 no fine print and when we called the guy he never mentioned it would be so much more-almost $6000.00 more then when you make a payment they charge you $15.00 extra every payment, the whole thing is a rip off! I would not purchase from them if I knew everything up front
